We’re going to be seeing this in the US in the not too distant future. It’s inevitable.

As soon as the first person gets denied his/her AFDC check at the welfare office,

riots will ensue,

and they’ll first burn down their own neighborhoods,
causing HUNDREDS of dollars in damages.

Yes, we will.

“We’re going to be seeing this in the US in the not too distant future. It’s inevitable.”

I agree. Look at the factors:

1. US current Federal deficit (admitted) is currently approx = to US GDP; Greece deficit is slightly more than Greece GDP

2. Actually, when we start adding the costs of SS and Medicare in a few years, US Federal deficit will be WAY more than US GDP

3. Greece has a large population accustomed to Gov handouts; US has a large population accustomed to Gov handouts

4. Many Greek politicians are socialists/communists; same with US

5. Greece had to cut back Gov benefits because they are broke; US will probably be in the same situation in a few (say, about 10) years

It's all part of the international revolutionary communist movement. The new SDS (Students for a Democratic Society, of which the Weather Underground emerged) is leading the protests/riots here in the US.

I can't wait to see this in California. They have made their bead of straw and twigs, now it is time to watch their own brainwashed socialist thugs turn on their masters.

I'm enjoying watching this happen in Europe. I hope it gets a lot worse. The more riots, fires, destruction the better. The only hope for avoiding it in the US is for there to be an obvious example someplace else that everyone can see. Greece was the worst, so they unfortunately get to serve as the first object lesson for the rest. I feel sorry for them as individuals, but collectively they set the stage, we may as well learn something from the show.
